What to know before visiting Dulverton Tip

1Finding the Brushford Road Depot

Nestled close to the River Barle just outside the main village, the route is incredibly scenic. Drive carefully along the narrow approach routes leading down to the facility.

2Trailer and Large Vehicle Clearances

Arriving in a pickup or with a heavily loaded hitched wagon? You must possess a pre-approved electronic pass, otherwise the marshals will simply turn you around.

3Protecting Yourself and Others

Children must absolutely stay inside the car while you toss out your refuse. The operating zones are packed with reversing vehicles and heavy machinery.

4Strict Ban on Trade Offloads

Independent builders and tradesmen are legally required to manage their own job-site debris. It is considered an offence to dispose of corporate refuse at this rubbish tip.

5The Upcycling Initiative

Before throwing away intact crockery or working radios, ask a staff member where the community shop drop-off is. They love receiving clean, functional donations.

6Items Denied at the Gates

Automotive parts, large gas cylinders, and industrial solvents are not processed here under any circumstances. Check the regional authority website for alternative solutions.
